Health Experts Caution Against Hidden Dangers Beyond Snow

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Central Virginia experienced its first snowfall of the year on Sunday, prompting many residents to seek comfort indoors. While snow days are often seen as a time for relaxation and fun, health experts are urging caution regarding another less visible threat that can arise during winter months: indoor air quality.

As families huddle inside to escape the cold, they may inadvertently expose themselves to various pollutants and allergens. Common sources of indoor air hazards include mold, dust mites, and volatile organic compounds released from household products. These can exacerbate respiratory issues and lead to other health problems, particularly for those with pre-existing conditions.

To mitigate these risks, experts recommend regular cleaning and ventilation to ensure fresh air circulation. Additionally, using air purifiers can significantly reduce indoor pollutants. As winter progresses, staying informed about these hidden dangers is crucial for maintaining a healthy home environment.
